It has Scala support, but stable versions are mainly for Java so far. If you prefer easy to use and elegant APIs over bloated stuff like JEE(sorry), have a look. :) Hey,

I share your criticisms of JSPs, but haven't found many Java alternatives that are substantially better. I'm no expert, though, I'm hoping I missed something good. Wicket? Tapestry?

What may be happening? Is there any problem in this format that involves the inclusion of many pages and php classes? How can I enter debug log in via php code?

Regarding MySql: look up the process list to see if you can find the MySql process (mysqld-nt.exe or something similar). If it is not present, it may be necessary to start the server manually or to configure it as a Windows service. Then try to connect to the running server using a client such as mysql.exe command line client. If this works, you can use the various MySql APIs as documented in the PHP manual. For Tomcat, you first need to install the JDBC driver from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/3.1.html and use the JDBC API either directly or use a third-party ORM such as Hibernate.

Is is possible to use the PHP installation that comes with the wamp with tomcat 6, or do I need a completely separate installation of PHP? I'd also like to know how I can get MySQL to work with PHP+Tomcat. Thanks in advance. I’m running a virtual machine with a wamp installed (easyPHP).

The same optimizations that can work for PHP also apply to Java/Scala apps right? The response from the dynamic language folks is the server is not configured correctly. Java/Scala has a world class VM. There is a reason projects like HipHop for PHP and alternatives Ruby implementation exists. Dynamic languages require more hardware. In the long run that outweighs the initial productivity gained by dynamic languages. I love Sinatra and Rails but they simply use too much resources. I can serve many more requests from a JVM based solution and that is fact. I don’t get it. The same optimizations that can work for PHP also apply to Java/Scala apps right?
